The z in Poppelbaum's Eszett is a latinized Fraktur z. I hope the attached graphic makes the construction of the Eszett clear to you.
While such forms exist, there is no need for a ligature of s and z (ezh) to have a descender or a connection as is in the Fraktur form. Poppelbaum's Eszett is modelled after the Fraktur Eszett, but it is slightly differently constructed (the z is higher). Please don't confuse an ſs ligature with the Sulzbacher Eszett. The "Eszett" of the new Ubuntu font, for instance, is *not* in the Sulzbacher Form. ** Attachment added: "construction.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-family/+bug/650498/+attachment/1740269/+files/construction.png -- Expansion: 'ẞ' LATIN CAPTIAL LETTER SHARP S (U+1E9E) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/650498 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
